My mydollarshop store to close down at the end of November unless if there is more interest in it

As you may know, I have a mydollarshop store at http://ryajone.mydollarshop.com/ and although I have had it since September 2008 and have had over 1400 visitors since it first started, I have yet to get shoppers coming through that are actually interested in what they have to offer. And so, I have decided that I will be shutting that store down at the end of next month (November) unless if more people start getting interested in it has to offer. I would love to keep it up and running indefinitely, but it does cost about $40 per month to run it, and if nobody is interested in shopping there, there really is no point in keeping it up and running. Of course, if more people get interested in what is offered there, I would happy to keep it up and running indefinitely.

Here is a picture of my store:

Seattle Area youtube videos

As a resident of Western Washington, I thought that I would share these Seattle related youtube videos:

To start a new niche or not to start a new niche, that is the question.

(one of the websites I got through yourbizwebsites)

I have been in the affiliate marketing business since towards the end of July, but although I have gotten lots of page views, impressions, and the occasional click or two, I have yet to start “converting” customers into buyers, and so it is starting to seem obvious that I will need to start looking into changing tactics on attracting visitors and referring them to various sponsors. I have been reading a quite of variety of internet marketing training guides, such as http://www.associatesprogram.com/, Average Joe Marketer’s The Money is in the Niche (which is a nifty “getting started” guide that I would recommend to you new internet marketers out there (I posted a link to it at my websites at www.ryansjones.com/business.html), as it has lots of useful information on how to start and run a successful internet business, and other cool suff. One of the things I have learned from both is that I will need to find a profitable niche that I can effectively promoted and market. When I joined in the affiliate marketing business, I got an account with http://www.yourbizwebsites.com/ and took the fast track route and got 11 websites, all in hotly contested areas (such as dating tips, dog training, cat training, real estate, internet marketing, etc). Obviously, I don’t know everything about dating and relationships, internet marketing, etc. but while I am adding my own spin to these websites at my other site at: http://www.snohomishpromotionnichemarketing.com/ (such as a links page for internet marketers, links to online retailers for people into fitness and health, etc), I recently got another website through global domains international (the service there is actually cheaper than the ones at networksolutions and yourbizwebsites, at only $10 per month, with automatic enrollment in the company’s affiliate program, which you can check out at www.website.ws/ryansjones), and when fully complete, that site will have all new material, including one on travel, and at least one or two whole new niches that would be interesting to a variety of audiences, etc. Of course, I haven’t decided on a niche yet, but plan to come up with some ideas for the end of this week.

(Global Domains International hosted website under construction: www.snohomishaffiliatemarketing.com)

Of course some areas I am considering:

  • church related stuff
  • seattle area related stuff
  • video games
  • online retailers
  • sports
  • others

(stay tuned for my decision)

You tube videos of the Dogs I own

Do any of you have dogs? I have two dogs myself: a golden retriever named, Tucker and a Bichon frise shizu named, Angel. I have created a few youtube videos of them. Enjoy:

Pros and Cons about internet marketing

Are you new at internet marketing? Here are some pros and cons for you to consider:

Pros about internet marketing

  • you can set your own hours
  • if successful, you can make a buttload of money (more than a traditional job)
  • put internet skills to use
  • network with other internet marketers
  • get marketing skills.

Cons:

  • it is more for experienced sales people - since you usually only get paid in commissions or paid leads
  • does cost money to start and maintain
  • best when supplimenting income with your “day job”
  • advertising can be tricky, especially at sites with strict antispam policies
  • not for everyone

New pages added to www.snohomishpromotionnichemarketing.com

Hey everybody, it is me again. I thought that I would let you know that I have just added a few more pages to my website. Hope you enjoy them. One of them talks about popular internet marketing resources out there, and another has useful links for fitness and health related stuff. While they are not yet fully complete, they do have content that may be of interest to you.

First press release made

Tonight, I just made my first press release about my websites and hopefully, this will help spurn some interest. The link is at Press Release: New Online Business at your disposal, and more press releases will be made about this topic over time. Hope you enjoy it.

Changed the name of my business

Originally, I named my website business, “Snohomish Niche Market”, but after thouroughly reviewing my website and what it is promoting, I have decided to change the name to “Snohomish Online Ebook Store and more”. Each of my websites have ebook packages that have good reviews from users, testimonials, links where people can get their own ebook, and get ideas on a varietyh of topics, including starting and running an internet business, getting advice on relationships, and many other subjects. In addition, my websites have links to a variety of online retailers, clubs, affiliate programs people can join to help better suppliment their internet marketing website business. Of course, there are ebooks and resources on building muscle, how to get an ex back, resources for realtors, etc. Currently, I changed the name at my networksolutions hosted website, www.snohomishpromotionnichemarketing.com and will change name at my other website at www.ryansjones.com later this week. I hope you all like that new name more, and hope that you enjoy it. Also, if you have products you want to review and promote on my website, I would happy to post them.
